I opened my eyes drowsily, my mind was groggy, and I fell asleep again.
There were no more dreams after that.
When I woke up the next morning, the sun was dazzling and the room was already bright.
I stood up, covered my head, and finally regained some consciousness.
But the dream last night made me feel very depressed.
I usually dream about my mother, but she just won’t let me get close to Xuanhe.
As a body hunter, how could I not get into the water?
I am more afraid of her.
But she saved me last time. If it hadn't been for her, I might have drowned in the creek while dealing with the fatal fall caused by Wang Xue and Lu Xiaoqin.
I roughly figured it out. She didn't let me go near the Xuanhe River because it was dangerous?
This time she didn't let me go back to the village... I'm afraid it's because my father is too cruel...
I rubbed my temples and drove all the extra thoughts out of my mind.
It was impossible for me not to go back, and for my mother, in addition to fear, another complex emotion gradually arose in me.
I got out of bed and pushed the door open.
At this moment, the second uncle and the paper man Xu were talking in the courtyard. The paper man Xu was holding a spoon and supporting a pot. The thing in the pot was Sophora porridge.
The old chicken was clucking nearby, but there was also a bowl of sophora porridge on the ground. It was obviously for it, but it was steaming. It was probably because it couldn't eat it, so it kept crowing.
"Yin Yang." The second uncle raised his hand to greet me, and I walked into the courtyard.
Paperman Xu just made a bowl of porridge and put it in front of me.
He regained his smiling expression and asked me how I slept.
I scratched my head and said it was very good. I picked up the porridge bowl and blew on it, taking a sip. The fragrance of sophora flowers filled my mouth.
The paper man Xu nodded and said that as long as he slept well, he finished the porridge for his second uncle and himself. However, he did not eat it immediately. Instead, he fumbled in his pocket for a long time and took out a small cloth and handed it to me.
The cloth was tied tightly, and there seemed to be some dirt on the yellowed cloth.
These are like dried blood, all turned black and red brown.
"I went out yesterday and asked for some clothes for you. You can take this thing. It's shameless now. If he doesn't fear death and makes trouble with you again, just take it apart and throw it at him. , send him on his way." The paper man Xu said and pointed to the chair under me.
I took the cloth and looked down at the same time. Aren't my clothes folded there? !
The cloth was cold and cold, but I felt so grateful that I kept saying thank you to the paper figurine.
Paperman Xu waved his hand and asked me to be polite.
He glanced at my second uncle again, and then he said with a smile: "Your second uncle's hands are very dark. He is called Ghost Hands. If I don't get your clothes back today, it's not a joke. Maybe he can kill me." Peel off a layer of skin. My little possessions cannot withstand what he does."
The second uncle took a sip of wine, but did not answer. He just hummed a tune, picked up the porridge bowl again, and took a sip of porridge.
After finishing the meal, I felt warm and comfortable all over.
I am also preparing to set off with my second uncle.
At this time, my second uncle reminded me that I could leave my old chicken here in Zhirenxu. After all, returning to the village was not about picking up the vagina, so I didn’t take anything with me that I couldn’t take with me to avoid getting into trouble.
In fact, what the second uncle reminded is really what happened.
Similarly, I also felt that Paperman Xu was trustworthy, so I nodded, and carefully asked Paperman Xu to please help me take care of the chicken more.
Paperman Xu didn't have any objections and said yes with a smile.
Then, the paper man Xu yawned, told us to pay attention to our safety, and went into the room.
The old chicken lowered its head and kept pecking at the sophora porridge. I went back to the room to clean up.
Also because my second uncle said that returning to the village was not about collecting vaginal discharge, I carefully placed the big black wooden box under the bed without taking it with me.
He just packed up all the belongings of the corpse collector and followed him out of the funeral street.
We made our way to the dock.
At this point, there were quite a few fishermen and boatmen on the pier. When my second uncle and I walked by, we heard some people talking quietly.
In their discussion, I actually heard my own name. Not only that, but there was even the word "Zhu", which means "Yin Po".
Likewise, I was looked at cautiously several times by many people.
The second uncle was very happy, with a smiling expression.
When we were getting on the corpse boat, I also saw Huang Qi crowded in the crowd. He hurried up to me and called me Mr. Li respectfully.
I nodded and responded to his call, then felt in my pocket and took out a small yellow croaker and a few dollars.
The second uncle was stunned.
On Huang Qi's thin face, his eyes almost popped out.
He licked his lips and his Adam's apple rolled.
I handed the little yellow croaker and the money to Huang Qi.
Huang Qi was sweating on his forehead. He obviously wanted to take it, but he didn't dare to take it.
This scene shocked the fishermen and boatmen on the pier. They all looked at me in astonishment and looked at Huang Qi with envy.
"Xiao...Mr. Xiao Li...too, too much..." Huang Qi looked bitter, and he said cautiously: "Just a few dollars...I wouldn't dare..."
I shook my head, my tone didn't change much, and said, "We negotiated before and I'll give you 10%. You take the money and do your job well. If you have business, you come to me. Not every time I can get that much. Otherwise If there is no difference, I can only find someone else to carry the message."
As soon as I said these words, the crowd suddenly became crowded. It was obvious that there were errand boys from the dock similar to Huang Qi, trying to squeeze in. They even raised their hands and waved at me.
This scene made Huang Qi anxious on the spot.
He quickly took the money from my hand, turned back sharply, and glared behind me.
Finally, he quickly bowed his head respectfully.
"Xiao...Mr. Xiao Li, I'll take the money! I'll take Xin'er! Don't worry, I, Huang Qi, will run away for you!"
I nodded, with a lot of satisfaction on my face, and said, "Go and get a good coffin, as well as paper and incense, and send them to Hejiacun. I will pick them up when the time comes. I didn't come, so you kept waiting. You put the money aside first, and I won't give you less later."
Huang Qi patted his chest and reassured me that he had taken good care of it.
After the conversation, I didn't say anything else and got on the boat.
The second uncle punted the boat and we headed back to the village.
After walking for a while on the waterway, the second uncle smacked his mouth and said, "Yin Yang, you gave me this money. My uncle feels sore just looking at it."
But then, there was some approval in his eyes, and he added: "But a local snake like Huang Qi is indeed very discerning. Without his help, you would not be able to get on the Zhu family line. This money is well spent."
I also scratched my head and just smiled with my second uncle, but didn't say much else. Mainly because it was a small matter and there was no need to say too much.
In about half an hour, we arrived at the hanging river basin in the village. On the left is our Lijia Village, and on the right is the opposite Hejia Village.
The second uncle turned the bow of the boat and docked towards Hejiacun.
At this moment, the boat suddenly shook, as if it was hit by something.
The second uncle cursed and said, "Fuck, come again!"
I felt excited and looked towards the other side of the boat. It was probably where I hit something just now.
At this time, the waves in the river were strong. Our boat turned around and the waves just happened to be stirred up. Among the waves, a piece of a woman's body that looked hard was washed up along with it!
Bang! The woman's chin hit the boat, and then she was swept into the river by the waves...
My eyelids are twitching wildly...
This is the one who has followed me several times... When we left the village a few days ago, she followed us a long way...
The second uncle cursed a few more curse words and spat into the water.
Logically speaking, the dead person is the most important, and the second uncle should not do this.
But since she is always following us, we really can't do anything about her, so we can only scold her and drive her away.
I picked up the corpse-carrying pole in the cabin and paid attention to the surrounding water at all times.
But whenever she comes again, she will have to poke it open!
However, after this time, it didn't appear anymore.
Not long after, we arrived at Hejia Village and docked the boat.
When I got on the boat, I discovered that there was something extra on the boat.
Almost exactly where Death's chin hit the edge of the boat, there was an earring.
The earrings looked to be solid gold and just stuck to the edge of the boat.
The huge wave just now... didn't even wash it down!
